Josh Leyva of "Cooking on High" on Netflix "I'm not a huge TV watcher. I watch a lot of Netflix, actually. I love 'Iron Chef,' 'Cutthroat Kitchen.' ... And as far as scripted stuff, I enjoy 'Ozark.' " Sam Carroll of "Cajun Aces" on Food Network "Pretty much like Nick Jr. because anytime we have time to watch TV our daughter is with us and she wants to watch 'Bubble Guppies' or 'Sesame Street.' (Husband) Cody and I, sometimes we wake up early, early in the morning and we'll watch 'Somebody Feed Phil' while Allie is still sleeping, so we'll binge-watch that for a couple of episodes. (laughs)" Anthony Bourdain often said he had no problem "taking one for the team" – aka consuming something that he knew would make him sick – if it made for a better TV show. Zane Lamprey, the host of "Four Sheets" on the recently debuted streaming service BrewDog Network, no doubt took a page from his late friend's playbook when filming his series' premiere episode in Cuzco, Peru, in which which he took part in a local cleansing ceremony involving the poison of a tree frog that wound up making him violently ill. It was an experience, he says, that was worse than he expected, but one he doesn't regret. "I did all the research just to find out medically how safe it was and then I find out it's generally safe," he explains. "And so I went down there to do it and just expected it to be something uncomfortable and I would throw up. I didn't expect it to really be the level of discomfort that it was, but I'm OK that it was. I'm happy that I did it, and the show deserved it so, you know, I wanted to throw myself into the show, and I think that that shows that I did." "I need to be entertaining," he continues. "I have to push myself and push my boundaries. But I'm also going to be honest. So I think that that's sort of what I appreciate about what I'm able to do, is if I don't know something or something doesn't taste good or something tastes great or whatever it is, I'm just going to be honest about it. And I always find that I'm not alone." In the half-hour series, the former host of such shows as "Three Sheets," "Drinking Made Easy" and "Chug" goes around the world to take in the drinking cultures in various locations. In addition to Cuzco (not far from Machu Picchu), Lamprey and his production crew visited Grand Cayman, Mexico City, the Greek island of Santorini, Switzerland and the stop he says was the most surprising, Paris. It was here he and his crew went to different cafes and establishments, drank with locals and learned about the city's long history with alcohol, including its consumption of absinthe and the fact that the Bloody Mary was invented there. They even rented out the Eiffel Tower for an hour, but Lamprey says the highlight was just in meeting and talking with Parisians about the Parisian experience. "That's kind of one of the things that's sort of the magic of this show," he says, "(is) what happens when you have a drink. People just loosen up ... to the point where they're honest with you. And someone who is afraid to go on camera because they're afraid that their English is poor, after a few drinks you find out that their English is great. They're just nervous because they don't want to look stupid. And when they have a few drinks they don't care and they look great."
